That does look like a good match to the Baron. Here is an advert from 1949 that helps bolster that ID of yours:

As mentioned, AWCI does have a tool on their website for finding an affiliated watchmaker that offers service/repairs. Not every watchmaker is listed. But if there is a place near you, such as an independent jeweler (not Zales or Ultra, or what have you chain store), check with them too.

A service will likely cost close to $200. More with the crystal replacement. Don't let them alter or  "clean-up" the dial.

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
